The Dominion Revival Party. It’s a name that gives promises of control and power for the government and yet our goal is to give the power back to the people. The Canadian Government, for all of it’s merits, is bogged down by laws of old; stopping proper representation of the Canadian people in many levels […]

The Issue With Election Ridings
The 2021 Canadian Federal election has just concluded with the Liberals winning another minority government. In fact, when you look at how many ridings they ended up winning, I wouldn’t be surprised if your would come to the conclusion that they had won by at least a bit more of the votes than then the […]
The Heart of the Community Never Changes
Hey guys, it’s been a while since I did one of these posts wrapping up our most recent project but after the weeks of the smaller posts giving you a peek at what we’ve been doing, I’m finally here to reflect. Now, as you could have probably deciphered from the last few posts, our most […]
Games of Our Childhood
Hello you beautiful people, it has been another week of the year end grind and I come to you with my thoughts on games from the 50’s vs. present day. For some context, as we reached the end of our unit on Canada in the 1950’s, Ms.Maxwell decided that we would take a look at […]

A short but sweet look at disney and the nuclear family
As you know, we’ve been looking at the development of the world and daily lives after the war in the 1950’s and today in class we looked at the importance of Disneyland in 1950’s America. The history of Disney itself is a tale unto it’s own, however, today I would like to talk about the […]
Ballets of the East and West
Hola y’all, it’s the beginning of a new quarter and we’ve already gotten our new project for PLP. As you may remember from earlier this year, we’ve been looking at WWII for the history part of Socials so obviously the next step would be to look at the after math of the war and how […]
Unknown Adaptions
Hello my good fellows, if you’ve been reading my recent blog posts then you know that for the last few weeks we’ve been looking at Romeo and Juliet and how that classic story is adapted to modern times. When hearing that your mind most likely automatically goes to much more straight forward adaptions of the […]
The Wondrous World of a Dancing Wonderland
As you guys probably know, this year we’ve been creating a podcast that surrounds a topic of our choice, I decided to go with dance. As you can expect it requires a lot of research and that was no different for our most recent episode. https://open.spotify.com/episode/4K419NI7QlHxoo96kyDz3i?si=lARanFpTQKSxcDRJxrcH-A This episode surrounded the idea of adaptions and how […]
